Back in 2012, AATP released the weirdest print ever (which is one of my favorite thought): Galay journey to the stars. This print came in two JSK versions, a salopette, a skirt, a bonnet and a double bow headbow. Recently, I had the chance to obtain the salopette in brown (I know that this print is very impopular among the lolita comunity but you know, I love it and I'm weak!)

Why did I decided to write about this print two years after it came out? Because I think I have understood its signification (thanks to my husband who decided to look closer at the print). Behind this weird mix of apples, trains, Christmas trees and music notes, there is a meaning (or at least it is what I think).

By looking closer to the print of this collection, it seems to me that it is related to a religious theme which could be more "God's Creation". Yeap !First, you can see on the print some lyrics and a partition. These are from the Christian hymn "Nearer my God to thee", written in the 19th-century by the poet, Sarah Flower Adams

- Un train. Bon là je suis toujours en mode WTF puisque je n'ai rien pu trouver, je l'avoue. Je suis preneuse de toute idée !EDIT
: Merci à Solène Thewithecrow pour la piste du train ! Il existe un
film nommé "Un train vers le ciel" qui pourrait être résumé par un verset
de l'évangile de Jean (tiens, encore lui !) chapitre 3 verset 16. C'est une métaphore sur le
sacrifice de JC pour sauver le peuple. Ce court-métrage est l'histoire
d’un père aimant, de son jeune fils, et du jour fatidique où ils tentent
d’éviter un désastre ferroviaire (nominé aux oscars). From this starting point, what can we see on the dress?:- An apple tree and some apples. Doesn't it remind you the forbidden fruit in the garden of Eden?- Some Christmas trees. Christmas is know as the birth or Jesus-Chrits, isn't it?- Some constellations, in particular "Crux", known as the Southern Cross and "Cygnus", known as the Northen Cross. We can also see "Aquila", the Eagle constellation. This bird is associated to John the Evangelist. We can also find the "scorpius" constellation (but this animal doesn't have a good reputation in the bible because it is known to be a nasty and sneaky creature)

- A train. For this part I still think "WTF" because I'm not able to find an explanation on the internet. If you have any idea about its meaning I'd be glad to read it!EDIT: Thanks to Solène Thewithecrow we have a clue for the train presence! There is a movie named "Most" (The birdge). It tells the story of the close relationship between a bridge operator and his young son and the fateful day when both try off an impending rail disaster. This movie is actually a metaphor for JC's sacrifice done to save people and could be resume by a verse extracts from John's evangel (chapter 3 verse 16).
